<p>Number of triatomines collected per landscape site and year, infection with <i>T</i>. <

Triatomine bug counts and their infection with Trypanosoma cruzi or T. rangeli are recorded per landscape site and year in Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre state, Brazil. The dataset includes associated landscape characteristics for each collection site. Author Gabriel Z. Laporta published this 9.5 KB Excel file under a CC-BY-4.0 license, with a last update timestamp of 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling triatomine population dynamics based on collection counts per site and year.
• Analyzing the relationship between Trypanosoma infection rates and landscape characteristics.
• Mapping potential Chagas disease risk areas based on vector presence and infection data.
• Studying the co-occurrence or competition between T. cruzi and T. rangeli parasites in a specific region.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly linked to specific landscape characteristics for ecological analysis.
• Includes infection status for two distinct parasites, T. cruzi and T. rangeli.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical modeling.
